Sony still features Paramount trailers, like the new one for Ironman, on the PS Store... why would they do this after Paramount announced HDDVD exclusivity? i think they must have some other deal worked out... VoD anyone?

You might be right. Btw, I'm going to use this post to shamelessly promote the BD's success. Here is some recent news:

 

1. Sony has just made its 10 millionth Blu-ray movie:

2. Sony winning Europe 4:1

3. Hastings Entertainment (a video/music/books store) is going to increase its Blu-ray rental holdings

 I should add that the PDF, that the second link uses as a source, just lists the 4:1 ratio in the UK. The article from the link here claims it's all across Europe. I know that such fast growth is good for the format, but that was the actual point of the report, the growth, not how well it's outselling HD-DVD.
